Is it just me or is this account getting worse by the day? You'd think I'd rejoice in its sticky sweet HR-approved drivel the more drivel-y it gets but I'm actually starting to feel bad for these people.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Life at Deloitte took a risk last week and asked one hard-hitting question:<\/p>\n

\n

Power Lunch question: what is the biggest thing you do to keep that work\/life balance?<\/p>\n

— Life at Deloitte (@lifeatdeloitte) February 17, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can think of one way to keep work\/life balance, and it doesn't involve life at Deloitte. Or, as a certain GC regular said<\/a>, "not work in public accounting."<\/p>\n

So, how do you keep your work\/life balance, whatever the fuck that is?<\/p>\n

And can someone please tell me what a "Power Lunch" is? I get the feeling it involves a Snickers bar and a big ole pile of work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
